just downloaded it from avsim.com and took it for a short test flight before work. interesting little thing it is. I like the oldies ;-) wouldnt' want to take it out on a windy day though, might turn in to a kite instead of a plane. :o

I think the name Hummingbird may be better known, a classic 'homebuilt' looking monoplane from the era of popular flying.

Nice way to waste an idle hour :)

Fly it at about 2300rpm indicated and it handles the way I remember seeing it flying at Shuttleworth.

Just shot an email off to the builders to see if they mind having it at the pond along with the Hawker Cygnet

that was also built for the Ultralight competition
